Race Summary: BRIDGERTON put in a decent performance on debut. He did not repeat that run against winners last time out but could be the right one trying the Polytrack. EXCALIBUR has been a disappointment so far but could improve. LORD MILORI has changed trainers since a disappointing debut. MANCHESTER FIGHTER showed improvement at this centre and could have more to offer. SWIFTWINGED should contest the finish once again.
Selections:
#1 Bridgerton, #5 Manchester Fighter, #8 Swiftwinged, #4 Lord Milori
Fairview Polytrack, 16.06.2023, Race 2, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R66.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: There was not much between SHORT SHARP SHOCK and MAYA’S CAT last time and that should again be the case. SHORT SHARP SHOCK is better drawn and gets the vote. MAKAHA BEACH has some fair recent form and can contest the finish. OPENING CEREMONY seems better than his recent runs suggest. MISS TUCKER has lost her way recently but could bounce back. ROYAL VENUS ran on well at the finish last time out and is clearly improving.
Selections:
#2 Short Sharp Shock, #1 Maya’s Cat, #5 Opening Ceremony, #4 Makaha Beach
Fairview Polytrack, 16.06.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R70.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: GOLDEN PACIFIC was seen to be running on well last time after being caught out of her ground. This is a weak race and she can go one better. POWERS THAT BE tries the Polytrack and can improve. COFFEE IN SEATTLE has a place chance. YOUCRACKMEUP can improve after a change of trainer. MAGENTA is always capable of earning money. RED LOVE was a disappointment last time out but should do a lot better this time.
Selections:
#7 Golden Pacific, #9 Red Love, #4 Youcrackmeup, #6 Magenta
Fairview Polytrack, 16.06.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R71.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: SILVER STARDUST got caught too far back last time. He is capable of much better and can bounce back to score. SOFT TOUCH can improve on her local debut. ALMIGHWAAR is finding it tough to win but could finish in the money. AMERICAN DREAM disappointed on local debut but should run a much better race this time. MY BOY REECEY has lost his way of late but could pop up in a place. ALADO’S PRIDE and ESSOS are not consistent but are also not out of it. CRAFTY HEART could play a minor role. MINGSHI showed vast improvement last time out.
Selections:
#6 Silver Stardust, #2 Almighwaar, #4 American Dream, #5 My Boy Reecey
Fairview Polytrack, 16.06.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R73.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: A tough race. TRIP TO BARBERTON tries the Polytrack and has a winning chance but needs to overcome a wide draw. SUGARBERRY has been better on the turf but is not out of it. GET IT DONE was a game winner last time out and is improving. RASPBERRY BERET is better on the turf but could improve making her local debut. HEY SIRI has a chance if at her best. STATE OF MIND ran well last time and is not out of it. MAIDEN’S COVE and OPERA SWING are both capable of good finishing efforts and can win if in the mood. A race to go wide in the exotics.
Selections:
#12 Trip To Barberton, #11 Opera Swing, #10 Maiden’s Cove, #3 Get It Done
Fairview Polytrack, 16.06.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R93.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Another open race. MOON GAME looks ready to run a cracker and must be included in all bets. EUROPEAN SUMMER has run some good races all year and deserves respect carrying a lot of weight. ACORN is in and out but has some ability. DAUGHTER OF ZEUS has been well backed when winning both of her last two starts and can complete the hat-trick but is trying the Polytrack. THEN IN FOCUS could be the right one after some disappointing efforts as his merit rating is slowly dropping.
Selections:
#4 Moon Game, #3 Acorn, #1 European Summer, #6 Daughter Of Zeus
Fairview Polytrack, 16.06.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R81.500, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: DEMIGOD is clearly at her best on the Polytrack so her last run is safely ignored and she can bounce back to score. LADY MISTICO is on the up and is not out of it. DEFINITELY MAYBE just got there last time out but can follow up if in the same mood. VIHZOE’S MAGIC is holding her form and is capable of winning. BEE IN MY BONNET could be ready for an improved run. FOR ALL WE KNOW is holding form and is not out of it. DREAM SCAPE has issues at the gate but is good enough to win a race like this.
Selections:
#6 Demigod, #4 Vihzoe’s Magic, #8 Dream Scape, #1 Lady Mistico
Fairview Polytrack, 16.06.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R74.500, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: The usual tough last race handicap. FIERY DUKE was too far back last time out and should do a lot better this time. PEDRO is in very good form and deserves the utmost respect. ON THE ROAD AGAIN finished his race off nicely last time out and is overdue some winning success. EL ROMIACHI is never out of it. DUKE OF ORANGE is unreliable but could go close. GIOCATORE won his last start before moving to the Eastern Cape. DALEEL is unreliable but could finish in the money.
Selections:
#9 Fiery Duke, #7 Pedro, #4 Duke Of Orange, #1 On The Road Again
Best Win: #7 GOLDEN PACIFIC
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #9 FIERY DUKE
